Left Hand Lane Drivers The bill would set noncriminal fines of up to $158 for using the left lane unless drivers are attempting to pass other motorists. However, it would provide several exceptions, such as when motorists are directed to use certain lanes or to drive around obstructions.
Electric & Hybrid License Fees The Senate bill would increase the annual fees required for electric ($200 to $250) and hybrid vehicles ($50 to $100) beginning January 1, 2029.
